3M Steri-Strip Skin Closures 6mm x 75 mm (R1541)

3M Steri-Strips are made from a porous, non-woven material reinforced with filaments for added strength, and coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive designed to be gentle on the skin. They’re used as a skin closure device to help treat lacerations and surgical incisions, and can also provide extra wound support alongside sutures or staples, or after these have been removed.

This pack contains three 6mm x 75mm reinforced strips, individually sealed for hygiene and supplied with a long expiry date. Illustrated directions for use are included in every pack, making them straightforward to use even if you haven’t used skin closure strips before.

Key Benefits

• Comfortable, low-tension support that helps hold small cuts and incisions closed while they heal
• Reinforced with filaments for extra strength and durability
• Hypoallergenic adhesive designed to be gentle on the surrounding skin

How To Use

• Clean and dry the area around the wound before use
